Jared McCann scored two goals and added an assist as the Seattle Kraken defeated the host San Jose Sharks 5-1 on Saturday night.

Andre Burakovsky had a goal and an assist and Chandler Stephenson and Jaden Schwartz also tallied for the Kraken (33-38-6, 72 points), who have won their past two games by a combined score of 10-1. Goaltender Joey Daccord made 23 saves.

Rookie Will Smith scored for the Sharks (20-46-10, 50 points), who are winless in their past five games (0-4-1) and remained last in the NHL’s overall standings.

Alexandar Georgiev allowed four goals on 11 shots before being pulled at 11:36 of the second period. Georgi Romanov stopped 10 of 11 shots the rest of the way.

The Kraken scored on their first shot on goal. Burakovsky took a stretch pass from defenseman Joshua Mahura down the right wing, skated over the blue line and fed McCann skating alone down the slot for a wrist shot between Georgiev’s pads at 5:46.

The Kraken made it 2-0 at 9:26 as McCann stole the puck behind the San Jose net and sent a pass to defenseman Adam Larsson in the left-wing corner. Larsson found Burakovsky just outside the top of the crease, and he scored on a one-timer while falling to the ice.

The Sharks got on the scoreboard at 14:18 as Macklin Celebrini made a nifty pass to Tyler Toffoli for a shot from just inside the right faceoff dot. Daccord made a kick save, but Smith was alone in front to tap the rebound into the net.

Seattle scored three unanswered goals in the second period to pull away.

The Kraken restored their two-goal advantage at 7:39 after San Jose defenseman Mario Ferraro broke his stick on a shot from the point, allowing Stephenson to pick up the loose puck and skate down the right wing on a two-on-one rush. Stephenson beat Georgiev on a wrist shot to the stick side from the right faceoff circle.

Schwartz stole the puck from defenseman Henry Thrun at the blue line and made it 4-1 on a slap shot at 11:36 from just inside the top of the left faceoff circle, ending Georgiev’s night.

McCann tallied again, on a wrist shot from the right faceoff circle after taking a drop pass from Shane Wright, to cap the second-period spurt at 18:07.
